Although the mail-away offers started at roughly the same time, production on the figures did not.

Hasbro started production on Fett much earlier than Bric so they would have a supply of Rocket Fetts to give out at Celebration V (which they did - Rocket Fett was free with a TVC RotS wave case purchase at the Hasbro booth).

Thanks that makes sense, esp the bit about CV and needing a head start. Might even be a good thing as the promotion may end up lasting longer. Or rather, the supply may. I wouldn't mind having two, but I won't have enough UPC's for another until 2 more waves from now. (Considering I open very few figures, several good ones coming up though)

I read last night on the RS forums that at least one guy has gotten this, but he ordered NINE (!) so they just sent him a whole case. No reports that I can find of anyone receiving any singles. I assume they ship the biggest orders first, so that follows. At least we know they made it out of the factory.

I gather you can call Hasbro Customer Service and find out if your name was on the list for the first batch sent out, which should be arriving in the next 1-2 weeks. Might try that later, but I'm not sure I'll want to hear if my name isn't on there.

I got both of mine today too. One mailer box was all crushed up, but the toy inside survived quite well. The other set arrived in minty shape. A much better experience than the two ruined RocketFetts that I got in the mail a few weeks ago.
